This is what you get when you’re a naturalist/biologist and can draw. It’s magnificent. You can find a brief description and wallpaper size here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Haeckel_Arachnida.jpg

One time I found one of the ones in the middle in my house when i went to the bathroom one night. Scary as shit. I beat it with a newspaper and put it under a cup so i could look at it in the morning.
when i woke up it was gone.
